In the US there are plans to create that type of software, and some States have made it already but there is nothing from the top side of the government. So currently any such plans are at the discretion of the individual states. And as should be expected with any government software initiative, the programs themselves are wildly insecure and do not work for a lot of people. A complaint I often see for the app for my state is that people registered for it and then the app can't ID/find them or login or whatever which makes it useless for them. Currently, while these apps do exist, I am not aware of anywhere that actually requires them. Some places will accept them but no situations where you must have the app.

Perhaps it does explain why domain profiles often became corrupted on XP and 2000 systems often. Back then, people only learned of the term "Roaming Profiles" because their local profile would get corrupted and Windows would log in with the Roaming Profile that it pulled from the network. At one place I did some work at, they had a network "policy" (aka they told users to do it but you know how that goes) to never save anything into My Documents in order to keep the local profile size (and the synced version) down as they found that once profiles got larger than say... the amount of physical RAM on the system, the local profile would get corrupted. In their investigation of local profile corruption, they were seeing local user folders (or just My Documents) at 1-2 GB in size. There is also the situation where profiles were then syncing files that didn't need to be copied over, so them making these 3 folders to sort the different types of data does make sense.

The WAN Miniports were always there but are usually just not shown. There are some instances where a LAN installation on XP goes bad and is evidenced by the WAN Miniports appearing in Device Manager under Network Adapters. I noticed that I let out an audible groan this morning when I went to unlock my Win 10 PC, after seeing that it takes more than 2 seconds to unlock. This means that some update installed overnight and restarted the computer.

What launches CameraHelperShell.exe in the first place? Is it a service? Perhaps less annoying would be to set the service to manual, and only enable it when you want to use the webcam. Even a shortcut or batchfile with sc.exe could handle that on/off situation. Also as stated with the issue of blocking the writing to the file is 1) it doesn't stop the program from attempting the writes (it is still taking resources) and 2) doing so may generate an error being written elsewhere. I would also consider deleting and replacing that LWSDebugOut.txt on each reboot using a scheduled task. BUT I must say that it would be much preferable if you could find a program (or not use a program) that didn't write to the text file in the first place. For example, I do not know if the BisonCam software will work with that or accomplish what you need. Anyways, this reminds me of something I did on my old XP computer. An online friend had been infected with an AOL Instant Messenger virus and was having trouble with it. He asked how to stop it from doing what it was doing so he had sent it along to me. I had installed it on my own computer and it didn't seem to function because I was using Trillian instead of AIM. I still did use the paths and whatnot to create ACL rules to stop the virus from being able to do anything and sent the person those commands and it had solved the problem they were having. Since it didn't do anything on my computer, I kind of forgot about it until some months later when I ran out of hard drive space. Low and behold, there was a huge amount of text files that the virus had created which primarily consisted of "cannot find, cannot connect to" error messages.

Also imagine a program installer needing to be designed to not only support home users but users within a domain, is more likely to use %APPDATA% variable for compatibility. Since a standalone PC can still work fine with data in Roaming, while a domain-joined computer may experience a problem if a program only used %LOCALAPPDATA% variables and a user does actually use roaming profiles.

A recovery DVD from Toshiba or (as jaclaz says) the recovery image from the recovery partition can be used to reinstall the OS and it should show that it is activated. On the recovery DVD angle, it may be possible that any Toshiba recovery DVD (of the appropriate edition ie Pro, etc) can be used instead of the one specifically for the model, although there are some known instances where recovery media for an OEM cannot be mixed between models and/or countries. I know that when my company worked with Vista, we had to repress recovery DVDs for SP1, so there may be a service pack requirement for the recovery DVD as well. The key on the COA label is for show, but can be used to activate a System Builder installation using telephone activation. There is no garauntee that a PC from Vista era onwards came with a recovery DVD. Microsoft always has a requirement on the OEM to provide a recovery solution, be it on CD or DVD and even allowed (at that time) the ability for a customer to download an ISO but said ISO could not be publicly available. And if hard disk recovery was available, a physical DVD was not required to be supplied but was allowed to be sold or provided upon request. Vista was the first OS where Microsoft provided instruction on how to create hard disk based recovery, so it was at this point that OEM PCs stopped shipping with a recovery DVD in the retail space. Some OEMs had a software pre-installed that would let you burn your own recovery CD or DVD.

At first glance it seems that it either is not detecting the device properly, or the device detected is not something in the supported list. I'd first check to see if that HwID shown in the logs is actually present in your system or not. Look for the device in Device Manager and get the Hardware ID from the Details tab.

Microsoft never recovered from the bad reputation that Vista received at launch. It had bad press because it was slow an unreliable, but to understand that the average specs for a new Vista system were the same specs for an average Windows XP system at the time. So for example, a Vista computer with 512 MB - 1 GB RAM instead of say... 4 GB RAM that seems today to be a no-brainer. And it is true that Vista did have some other issues even with an appropriately spec'd system and all of Vista's issues were corrected by the time SP1 came out and Vista became viable. But the early failures never went away and people never knew it got corrected. So Windows 7 hype/marketing was more to get back a better opinion. You'll notice the same thing happened with Windows ME, and Windows 8 or 8.1, which also had rocky starts, and despite the fact that things got fixed and that they are fine OSes, they are still considered to be trash by the general public. An interesting outlier in this phenomenon is that of Windows 2000 which didn't work at all at launch for maybe up to a week due to bad driver support, yet somehow a cult following had developed around that OS early on and has never been seen as a failure like Windows ME.

I haven't got search to work since the forum was down last, and since then there was a forum software update.

Running on AC or battery? Silly thing to check to see if the power cord is actually plugged in and working.

The location of a file doesn't actually have anything to do with its architecture. But, normally if a program installs to Program Files (x86) it is the 32bit version not 64bit. It is the installer that determines where a program is installed, and the installer is just copying files. So you can have a 32bit installer put a 64bit program into Program Files (x86) or experience a similar thing with a modified or malfunctioning OS.

It appears that there is some updating of the forum software happening, which may explain why things aren't working as expected. As usual with IPB Forums, an update tends to break a lot of things.

Checking in the field info reveals that Scotland does not use a 2 character code, instead it is SCOTLAND. And like NATO (in the example I chose because the NATO flag is near the top of the PNG) option, it does not have a corresponding selection to the .css where it matches the 2 character codes to PNG coordinates. The first flag is ~ Y 707px, yet the CSS calls for the first flag (ipsFlag.ad) to be -352px. Any any flags "above" that are not referenced in the .CSS. I am thinking there must be something else at work here because the CSS does not match up to the PNG anyways, unless there is a reason why the px values aren't matching up. I even changed my flag to Antarctica (which is in the CSS) but it still shows US flag for me.

Anything is possible! But if it is indeed a situation where the OS is seeing what CPU you have and rejecting it, then you (or someone else) would need to figure out how to stop that from happening. People have done some amazing things in computing, but so far I am not aware of anyone modifying the OS to do that.

Look at all those drive letters!

Here is the CPU list for 20H2. Unless they are using some different type of naming, it would seem your CPU isn't listed. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-10-20h2-supported-intel-processors

IE isn't being removed, if you mean in Windows 11. The information released so far specifically says that IE will be disabled.

It looks like the forum has the locale option for Scotland but not the corresponding Flag option in the flags.css OR perhaps it does but there is no image associated with it or the image is missing. The flag list uses a 2 letter abbreviation for the countries, but I do not know what Scotland's would be. The CSS uses positioning on a single file that has all the flags, and that file is here: https://msfn.org/board/uploads/set_resources_0/84c1e40ea0e759e3f1505eb1788ddf3c_flags32.png You can look to see if the flag is present there. Otherwise also tell me what you think the 2 character code it would use (like fr = france) and I can look into it further. PS: I see you have it set to Scotland in your profile, but the flag might appear as UK since your IP resolves to a UK domain name.

The stream keeps stopping and buffering. I lolled when they showed how good Skyrim can look. Skyrim, a 10 year old game. Not even using any mods. Who plays Skyrim on PC without mods? At least just Sky UI. They seem really out of touch with the PC Gaming community and they should be embarrassed.

Sata cables are weird. I've solved disk errors by not only replacing Sata cables but also just reversing them. For these "non-errors" I would consider them to be warnings. Make a backup and never take the disk for granted. The last time I had a non-critical warning was for a disk with the Reallocated Sector Count flag in 2015, The disk was "fine" for 4 more years until something on the PCB melted.

This particular 0F47 seems to be a Pentium D 805: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/27511/intel-pentium-d-processor-805-2m-cache-2-66-ghz-533-mhz-fsb.html Does seem valid for the architecture. Would really like to know what error is shown in the crash. In order to see this, you'll need to boot the system and use F8 menu to choose Disable Automatic Restart on System Failure, to see if it is doing a bugcheck. It won't reboot when it crashes and you can see teh error. What build/version of Windows 10 is it?

Now do it with a host that doesn't support virtualisation.

I just hope this Windows 11 has a different update model so I don't have to recreate images every 6 months when an update comes out.

That model originally came with a Pentium 4, so we can presume it is legacy only. But since it seems to have come with a P4 and not a Pentium D, you are going to have to post the processor number so that you can look it up on Ark. My first inclination is that you have a 32bit CPU and not a 64bit CPU, which would be why you cannot install boot a 64bit OS. Alternatively, some BIOSes/firmware have the ability to restrict boot application bitness.
